Facing The Thunder - Exodus 20:18-19

When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear.  They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen.  But do not have GOD speak to us or we will die.”

Family,

I’m sure a few of us can relate to what the Israelites felt.  I know I have had to face the thunder of GOD’s commands!  Exodus 20:1 says, “And GOD spoke all these words:” Then HE proceeded to give the people the commandments.  When GOD finished speaking, the people responded in verses 18-19 (above verses).  There is a chance that when GOD speaks in the gentle breeze or through the beauty of a nice little butterfly, we might ask, “Is that YOU LORD?”  But when HIS voice is like Thunder . . . Face it . . .  You know it’s GOD speaking!
